Giants Playoff Hopes Might Come Down To Last Game Of Season
new york daily news

Despite the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, the Giants are still in prime position to make the playoffs. But even with the cushion they have right now, there is still a lot for Giants fans to worry about these next few weeks.

First of all, forget about winning the division. The Cowboys locked that up a few weeks ago. Sure there is a small possibility that the Giants can still win the division, but I don’t see the Cowboys going 0-4 to end the season. In fact, I think they will probably beat the Giants next week when they play, and that’s not a bad thing.

Obviously, any Giants fan wants the team to win, especially against Dallas. And the win will go a long way towards securing a wild card spot, but a loss isn’t the end of the world. Think of it like the Giants-Patriots regular season game in 2007. The Giants weren’t expected to win but they put up a fight in a game that meant absolutely nothing. Fast forward back to today and again the Giants are playing a regular season game against the best team in the NFL, and virtually the game doesn’t mean anything win or lose. The Cowboys are taking the division regardless, and if the Giants lose then at worst they are still a game up on everyone for the first wildcard spot.

Where the trouble comes in is after that game. The Giants need to keep the game close to keep their confidence up. A win would be great, and they probably have a better chance than anyone to pull it off, but if they lose, they need to at least make it close. If it’s a close game, then they will have momentum to build off, and a willingness to get back at the Cowboys come playoff time.

Once again everything seems to be falling into place in the NFC East to ensure that the last game of the season is a win or go home kind of game. The Giants could make it easy on themselves and win a couple games so that it doesn’t come down to that, but let’s be realistic. This is the New York Giants we’re talking about. They never make anything easy. Don’t be surprised if they have to play that win or go home game against the Redskins, and if that ends up being the case, I would be very nervous as a Giants fan.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
